What is an Incubator?
An incubator is an organisation that helps very early-stage startups and new companies to get off the ground. They provide resources like office space, mentorship, and access to a network of other entrepreneurs and investors. Incubators are focused on the very beginning of a company's life, often when it's just an idea. They differ from accelerators, which typically work with slightly more developed companies over a shorter, more intensive period. A tech company might run an incubator to foster innovation and identify potential future partners.
